Q

What is Newtons first law?

A
states that an object will remain at rest or move with a constant speed in a
straight line (constant velocity) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Q

What is Newtons third law?

A

states that for every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction
(force). Two objects - swap their names: the force of the foot on the ball is equal and opposite to
the force of the ball on the foot.

Q

What happens when an object reaches terminal velocity?

A

the speed of a moving object is no longer increasing or decreasing
the object’s acceleration (or deceleration) is zero
the total force on the object is zero
